´´We not Black like them...´´BLACK-LATINOS COONING AT BEST.

[Ubuntu1]

Exactly. It's not like I said every non-AA black feels that way, but a lot of them do. That's a fact, and the ones that do aren't even shy about it. I used to tutor a lot of high school and colleges students and most of the immigrants would pretty freely admit that their families felt that way when it came to African Americans. Hell, this one Ethiopian chick was basically disowned from her fam for dating an AA dude. That's some shit you usually only hear coming from nonblacks, but the truth is a lot of foreign blacks think the same way when it comes to AAs.

Some black Americans have the same attitude toward Africans and even non-black people of color that some white racists do to black people, and even non-white people, in general. This is common knowledge. You're just not sensitized to it because of your own in-group bias. We can get into generalizations if you want to (I've only come across one African in real life, my father, who showed any kind of prejudice toward black Americans and even he was generally cool with them and would never say some of the things he said when I was younger now) but my point still stands because people are individuals.

I don't care about the phony supposed 'African-African American rift' because there's nothing that black Americans or West Indians could do to me that some other African people wouldn't. Some in-group members will kill and hurt you for nothing and some outsiders will show you compassion.

That's true. Plenty of AAs think and say stupid shit too. It's like when Obama ran and you had some AAs saying he wasn't black because his dad was from Kenya.

I remenber like yesterday...More than ten years ago my Dominican co-worker made a absurd claim that African Americans are Blacks and that the other darkskinned people were not black.I was like

hen

Then it just turned into a full smh.

I asked him what he ment and he coulnd´t explain. I looked around like...Is this nigga serious...Nigga looked like ?uestlove from the roots.Dark as a mu-fucker.I felt like I was in a white moment when they talk shit about black people in there absents.Shit is sad as fuck.That´s why I don´t fuck with no boriqua or moreno.Nigga I´m BLACK.

true, true, to 90% of what you say, but when you go to the Dominican there are some light and some brown who will say they are black. It's not many,but some of them do know the truth. It's just stupidity and the fact that alot of them are mixed, soooo for them the majority ride with saying they everything except black (they'll say they have a little bit of black in them but that they are on the statistics white).

Also outside of only race, ALOT of them also don't like Haitians because they do voodoo and spoke french and ruled them (even though they didn't quite really rule them as much as set them free from whites) and the dominicans spoke spanish and were mixed. So they see haitians as something other than themselves and negative for the most part and see blacks (depending on where you're coming from) as something they do not choose to self-identify with as much as lighter/whiter looking Latinos or whites.

However if you Jamaican or African American they don't see you as Haitian, but rich or strong. Either way they don't wanna be black and they are very racist toward black dominicans and haitians

The truth is a lot of black American are shamed of their African roots due to the booty scratcher jokes or want no part of it. On the flip side a lot of Dominicans and Ricans are shamed of their blackness and wanna be accepted by white folk. Both are infected by the same negative self hating disease. Light is white is right and I ain't no African savage. It's been engrained for hundreds of years. It sad and fucked up cuz we the only race/culture with no identity. My step sister got married in April It was a traditional Nigerian wedding. I was there going thru the traditions (throwing money wearing the dress etc...) Smh inside thinking this the culture American blacks should be participating in and embracing just like Jews Asians Hispanics etc all do with their traditions

 

[BrazilianHairMoney]

We all know Dominicans, like the rest of the free world, got issues with race. Their shit is just alot more in your face than other places are. That shit been ingrained in some of those families for hundreds of years that anything dark/black is bad. I know some Dominicans who are 1st generation in the states who get into serious arguments w/ their families about being black. Shit runs deep to them. Those that embrace it do it to the fullest. I've seen one of my home girls who is Dominican damn near fight somebody, ironically someone from Texas, for trying to repeatedly tell her she's not black when I was in school.

Yankees stay doing that to black immigrants. Then later on in life it's "y y'all act like u aren't black like us, u think u r better?"

Or worse

They still think the same as they were in high school, smh

That is also part of this issue that I don't really see addressed often when black americans wonder why black foreigners are so confused about race in this country. I've seen Caribbean folks from all over be told they weren't "really black" before by black Americans which is the dumbest shit ever. I've seen black Americans say they didn't even know black latinos existed and this is in 2015 when you can google any damn thing you want. So yeah the ignorance is heavy on BOTH sides.

What I'm learning is that some Dominicans associate blackness to "African American" culture & since they don't directly identify with that, they aren't "black". They identify with their nationality moreso the color of their skin.

And the ones who don't claim their blackness or African roots are the ones that seem to not fuck with black people at all.

This is true too. To most people the term black means black Americans and some black Americans don't help this idea by telling black foreigners they aren't really black just because they aren't from America.

i agree because people ask me alk the time am i mixed.. and i be like mixed with what.. then they say i look Dominican African or Jamaican.. i be like isnt that black?

then when they find out iam black american they act like take away from my looks.. they be like oh i thought u were foreign..

but alot foreigners think im foreign. they say i dont think black? whatever that means..

smh..

i dont understand

Smh at you in the crowd watching nicki minaj.

 

[Neophyte Wolfgang]

Speaking from a Chicago nigga point of view. Out here Dominicans are few to none. They can blend in with either Puerto Ricans or be mistaken for being African American. I couldn't tell you if they knew they were part black or whatever, but I do know them Ricans stay clamining and acknowledge they got African blood in them, even the light skin white looking ones. There is a handful who deny it and claim they "Tiano" but majority acknowledge they got black in them in Chicago

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Ricans that acknowledge their black roots aren't all that rare.

That doesn't mean they don't have colorist and racial issues as a group though.

 

[BrazilianHairMoney]

yall think im playing.. but people keep saying im not really black...

i never understood it. no my hair not 2 my knees.. but they say i look foreign.. #-o

 

[The Lonious Monk]

People are getting caught up in semantics. There are those who use "Black" to mean anyone with dark skin and a significant African heritage. There are some that use "Black" as being the same as African American. So of course, if you look like you're not African American and the people you're talking to are using Black as a synonym for AA, they are going to say you aren't really Black. It doesn't mean they are saying you're completely removed from the African diaspora.

 

[shit happens]

yall think im playing.. but people keep saying im not really black...

i never understood it. no my hair not 2 my knees.. but they say i look foreign.. #-o

history is the mystery they say the first will be the last my second thought will come to pass in a matter of seconds...I want you to understand my callin aayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

I used 2 know this Dominican chick who stayed hollering about how she's Dominican. Funny thing is, she looked like a regular Black chick so she prolly overcompensated by constantly talking bout her background. I've met plenty of other Black Hispanics with similar weirdo mindsets, so I really dont fuck w/ Hispanic broads at all.

I went to the DR last year, and as someone who had never been before, you could have mistaken the vast majority of people I saw for African Americans before they started talking.

That doesnt necessarily mean she dislikes being black or doesnt like black people. She just loves being Dominican

I see this all the time in afro latinos...its just sad.

If you have negroid features, you black.

bull sheit...

the bolded is a European constructed concept, and is as just as weak as his genes.

what are blk features?

do blk ppl look the same????

theirs blk ppl in the Torres strait, Solomon island, Fiji, Australia, aye ta people, new guinea with blonde hair blue eyes ...

read about Rwanda, and how they put the Hutu against the Tutsi. one group according to the wht settlers, had European features and were descendant of Europeans and therefore more superior....

and if we wanna get really real, the same ppl who talk about blk features, will be the first to state that the easter island statues were'nt blk. despite the blk features ...

Same thing with the races.

and I was speaking of the facial structures, not things like hair and eye color... because just like you see some black girls coloring their hair blonde or wearing blue contacts... you can still look at them and visibly see that they are black.
